Re: VIRGIL: The Aeneid vs De Rerum Natura

[Dara Soukamneuth]

    I would like to do that, but I have not read the Georgics;  I'm a 
freshman in advanced Latin at NYU and have only read some of Caesar, 
Sallust, Catullus, Ovid, Cicero, Vergil's Aeneid, and Lucretius.  I don't 
have a very broad base from which to draw upon  I'd like to do a comparison 
with something I've read, though.  Also--thanks to everyone for their help!

Why not compare Virgil's plague scene in the Georgics with that at the end
of Lucretius?
